Olympic hopeful talks about his aspirations

Look out for this name for the next few weeks. Anthony James from Plymouth will learn next week if he qualifies to join the Olympic squad for the butterfly stroke.

He's off to Sheffield for the final trials next week. He was ranked 16th in the world last year and is hoping to build on his success. In 2010 he was a silver medallist in the Commonwealth games.

Anthony James has been talking to Richard Lawrence at the launch of a sport-into-schools project at a primary school in Chudleigh. Inspired by London 2012, the scheme backed by EDF encourages children to recycle old clothes to swap them for credit points which can be used to buy sports equipment
